Mike_S Report post Posted June 20, 2007 Hi guys, Officially ordered a Arctic White Phantom due for September delivery. I don't like any of the stock option wheels available, do you guys have any suggestions for me? I think 24' is too big IMO. Do you get 23' wheels?

LPDADDY Report post Posted June 20, 2007 Congrats.Kick ass car and it looks great in white.Any pimp wheel will do IMO but you are right i think 24inch wheels are too big,i wouldn't go bigger than 22. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest skokos Report post Posted June 20, 2007 Thats going to look incredible! nice choice mike make sure to take some pictures of all the girls that pile into your car if you pull up outside a night club LOL i think you are right. 24's are to big for it (even though they could fit on the phantom just fine) i think there overdoing it 22's or 23's are the right way to go Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ameer Report post Posted June 20, 2007 Wow ! Congratulations ! White suits the Phantom perfectly . There is a member here who had some very very nice custom wheels made for his Phantom. I think he is SK00097 . You should do a search for the pictures and ask him where he got them. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi ameer, I spoke to SK (Shahram) a couple times last year. he hasn't been online in a while. His rims are a bit TOO big for me IMO. i want something just a tad smaller, which is why I was thinking 23' - but those wheels are hard to find. So anybody with some suggestions with 22' ?

IMO those wheels looked perfect. As they were custom made maybe you could get a 22 or a 23" in the same model. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SV-N-IT Report post Posted June 21, 2007 white is the shit on that car! My buddy just bought a used one and put 24's on it. In person it looks great! The body of the car is so big that the 24's look like 19/20's on a Lambo (very proportionate).. 23" tires are hard to find and a little pricey.

SK90077 Report post Posted June 22, 2007 Hey Mike. Congrats on the car! i would suggest doing alot of custon stuff on the car. if i can go nack i would do alot to the interior etc.. Ill pm you with some stuff in a minute. I would suggest getting 22s so you can get beefier tires which will not effect the ride as much as 24s. 24 really make the ride ruff! Next time i will get 22s for sure Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SK90077 Report post Posted June 22, 2007 Also you want to get a full faced rim becasue the calipers and rotors look pretty cheesey. i dont think it has to be to the extent of mine but i wouldnt go with a 5 spoke. Also as we discussed before you will want a 2 or 3 piece wheel. one peice are pretty cheesey and cheep wheels are like $10 shoes on an armani suite. Mine are brushed with a chrome lip. I really wanted these but they only came in 22s which might work for you Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't go witht he piped interior as I think that only works well with seashell colour and darker colours. Do you think the thicker steering wheel is worth it? I asked the salesman about it and he say the thicker steering wheel doesn't make a huge difference. I drove a Phantom with that option and I thought it was still too thin IMO.

Funny thing is the phantom where u live is equal to a phantom, drophead, and a gallardo In the US. As far as steering wheel I think the stock is much better. Look @ the phantom V of the 60s and you will see where the interior and steering wheel are based on. You get used to it Good move on the stitching! Can't wait to see it!!

Please don't remind me of what we have to pay The prices are just insane, but we have to pay to play. Thanks! I'll go with the stock wheel then.

SAMLAMBO Report post Posted June 30, 2007 If you were to ask me, I would have it in the polished look. Kep your stock rims. Nothing like RR factory rims with those RR logos which dont move with the rims. Nonetheless Congratulations. I love the RR Phantom. My father in law has one after many older RR he had before.
